Quiet Revolution indeed! Was DeBurgh the secret catalyst for the fall of Communism in the 1980's?
Unlikely, or so you'd think, but this volume explains in lucid clarity, how DeBurgh's use of backward masking, clever poetry, and hypnotic language patterns transformed both Reagan and Gorbachov's vision of the future.
Amid considerable controversy back in 1985, DeBurgh released the anthemic 'Lady In Red', ostensibly about his wife, but in reality, this was a clarion call to the people of the Soviet Union to rise up and stand together, finally, against communist tyranny. The Lady was of course, DeBurgh's beloved Russia.
His provocative anti-classic, Patricia The Stripper on the surface, talked superficially and with typical DeBurgh humour, about 1930's parties in the middle-class suberbs. However, the song dealt with, at a subliminal level, the Communist policy of 'stripping' the individual identities of its citizens, therefore enabling it to control the populace for some 70 years.

Former British Prime Minister John Major, said at the time, 'I was high on emotion when I took the spanish train to see the Berlin Wall fall. To see that man, this enigmatic genius, stand full on on that wall, blasting the first bricks off with his guitar, whilst singing about how a spaceman came travelling, and interbred with neanderthal man to form the human race, was simply unmissable. In my eyes, he is the Keeper of Secrets regarding our true origin. DeBurgh, in my opinion, was there at the beginning, he is the Alpha, he is the Omega, he is a shagger of teenage girls while his wife lay strewn with a broken neck. But that's okay, she was only a bitch anyway.'

Read this book, it'll change your life, but lock up your daughters.
